Kelly Bracey

Kelly M. Bracey serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing agency mission objectives through timely, transparent, and competitively awarded contracts. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional services acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on security and technical consulting services, reflecting her expertise in complex, performance-based contracting approaches. While specific contractor names are not available, Bracey maintains consistent working relationships with a broad base of vendors offering security guard and patrol services, as well as professional and technical consulting firms. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and contractor accountability, fostering partnerships with both large service providers and small businesses capable of delivering mission-critical support under performance-based task orders. Bracey demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 15.5% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Although the majority of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity and enhance vendor diversity. She does not appear to prioritize other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, focusing instead on broad-based small business eligibility. Her primary procurement focus is in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), which accounts for nearly 58% of her activity, indicating deep expertise in law enforcement support, facility protection, and risk mitigation services. She also regularly procures professional services under NAICS 541990 and 541690, reflecting technical proficiency in management consulting and specialized technical advisory services. This combination underscores her ability to manage both operational and strategic service contracts within the federal security and professional services domain.
